Ladylike Loud Mouth Soup

I found myself indulging in a beautifully simple martini at Salito’s Crab House & Prime Rib in Sausalito last night. The vodka was tasty, the ice made it perfectly crisp, the olives were abundant and stuffed with jalapenos…but the best part about this martini was that it was served in a beautiful vintage-looking glass. Many times martinis are served in glasses you can put your whole face into, not last night. These were delicate, perfect, ladylike sized glasses that had just the right amount of “loud mouth soup,” (as my grandfather calls it) in each glass.

I’m crushing on these glasses because I think they would be the perfect addition to my Mad Men bar I just set up. I’m putting this on my list for flea-ing next Sunday but in the meantime I did a quick Google search and found these glasses at Libbey. Not as delicate as I’d like but the right size for various types of cocktails and certainly for the ladylike martinis I’m planning on serving Salito’s-style at my next cocktail party!

According to Salito’s :: To Find These Glasses: Try searching for Libbey Glass online. Look for “flute prestige 5 3/4” with the product number 013652.
